"My wife and I have a failed casement picture window that we are planning to replace. It is in our kitchen and is at least ten years old. Custom cabinetry is built onto the wall below the window. Not only does cold air come in through the failed window, but it is also cold inside the cabinets. We were concerned that this was because the wall below the window needed to be better insulated, so we planned to have that done before the new window was installed. Tony Karpovich of True Energy Solutions, Inc. came to do the free estimate as scheduled, calling first. He used an infrared detector to evaluate the wall, and demonstrated to us that our wall was already well insulated from the floor up to near the base of the window. He said that we should remind our new window vendor (who happens to be certified to do energy audits) to fill the spaces around the window with appropriate insulation, so that cold air not only cannot get in through the failed window itself but also not through conductive heat loss from the metal window frame. Tony said that as long as the window installer fully seals and insulates right around the new window, that we should not have a problem with heat loss. Tony said there was no point in adding more insulation to the wall, in general. My wife and I appreciated the information, the demonstration, and the advice. We now look forward to working with our new window vendor to get the window replaced correctly, this time."

"Michelle was great. Very detail oriented, knowledge, and gave great suggestions during the post-purchase inspection. She allowed us to accompany her during the inspection and answered any and all questions we had, very approachable. She spent almost two hours with us and gave a great, 22 page report with photos afterwards. Good communication pre and post inspection. Highly recommend, I have already sent her info to a friend who is looking for an inspection."

Energy Efficiency Auditing questions, answered by experts

Replacing a window frame will improve your home’s energy efficiency if the old frame is cracked or damaged in a way that allows unconditioned air from the outside into your living space or if you upgrade to a more energy-efficient window frame material. Aluminum is the least energy-efficient window frame material, followed by vinyl and wood. Fiberglass and composite frames are the most energy-efficient.

R-value is calculated by dividing the thickness of an insulation material by its thermal conductivity. The material's composition and density influence thermal conductivity. Materials with lower conductivity values provide better insulation. The higher the R-value, the better the material is at insulating, helping homeowners select insulation that meets the energy needs of their climate and home layout.

Not all homes are suited for solar panel systems. Older roofs or those in poor condition may need repairs or replacement before solar panels can be installed. Some other factors to consider are the amount of sunlight your roof receives, the roof’s orientation and pitch, and any shading from nearby trees or buildings.

Blower door tests are measured in a few different ways, but the most popular are air changes per hour (ACH) and cubic feet of air (CFM) moving through the house per hour. A good ACH score is less than 2ACH, but 1ACH is better. This means the house experiences a total air change within 60 minutes (for 1ACH). For 2ACH, there’s a complete change every 30 minutes, and so on. CFM scores are similar in that a lower score means less air change, and therefore less leakage.

A home energy audit costs about $420 on average, with prices ranging from $100 to $2,250 or more. The final cost depends on factors like your home's size, location, the thoroughness of the audit, and the specific tests performed. A basic Level 1 walk-through inspection typically costs between $150 and $200, while a comprehensive Level 3 audit with detailed testing and a report costs around $900. Homeowners may be able to use the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act’s Energy Efficient Home Improvement credit to cover up to $150 of the audit cost.

Costs for common individual tests include:

  • Blower door test: $350

  • Duct testing: $100

  • HERS test: $375

  • HERS certification: $200

  • Infrared imaging: $200
